Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Geogard CA. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product Identification
GeogardTM CA
Scale and Fouling Inhibitor
Description
Geogard CA is a multifunctional product for scale and fouling control, particularly in systems requiring calcium management at temperatures over 200°C. It is an aqueous solution of the sodium salt of polycarboxylic acids.
Application
Geogard CA is effective against alkaline scale formation and addresses scaling and fouling concurrently. It is compatible with sponge ball cleaning systems.
